So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

A Massachusetts man has settled his lawsuit against a pair of Dunkin' Donut franchise owners after being served a bagel with a butter substitute in lieu of the bagel with butter that he ordered.

Polanik's lawyer, Thomas Shapiro, acknowledged that his client's complaint is "a minor thing," but they decided to sue "to stop the practice of representing one thing and selling a different thing."

An attorney for one franchisee confirms that the case has been settled and the stores have changed their butter-serving protocol. Details of the settlement have not been released.
